ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (WKBW) â It was an experience 25 years in the making.
âIt was amazing. My voice is a little raspy from screaming so loud,â said Dani Zappia of West Seneca.
Zappia and her dad, Tony were two of some 6,700 to watch the Bills beat the Colts in person.
âIt was so loud it felt like it was packed even though it wasnât,â she said. Itâs not like a normal game where there are tons of people congregating. It was a little weird to walk through the halls and not see tons of people,â Zappia continued.
Fox News Senior Meteorologist Janice Dean argues New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo was ‘never called to task’ by the media, says families who have lost loved ones ‘want answers and accountability.’
One thing I’ve learned over the last nine months covering New York’s Gov. Andrew Cuomo is that he does not do something if it doesn’t somehow benefit him.
There are many examples of this:
The poster with the cartoon COVID mountain he sold depicting the decline in the number of COVID cases in New York. He claimed he helped flatten the curve this summer. But the curve is now turning into a spike and the rise in the number of COVID cases is creating a second mountain.
The financial losses reach into the millions at the establishments familiar to everyone: Duffâs Famous Wings and Santora s Pizza Pub and Grill.
But the losses in the tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars are every much as crushing to the smaller restaurants better known in their own locales, like Londa s Diner in Depew and Raphael s in Hamburg.
Two dozen Buffalo area restaurants â big and small, with offerings from pub food to Italian cuisine, but all under an indoor-dining ban â submitted court affidavits this week detailing more than $10 million in financial losses for 2020 and 856 job cuts since March. They re among the 70 restaurants that signed on to a State Supreme Court lawsuit seeking a relaxation of state Covid-19 safety precautions.
But there is other news on the horizon.
Talks over Bills Stadium in Orchard Park are likely to ramp up in earnest. New York State and the Seneca Nation must renegotiate the compact that authorizes the Seneca casinos. A downtown tech hub is poised to bring new life into the city s tallest building â if workers get back to the office.
There will be political intrigue, too. The offices of Erie County sheriff and comptroller are up for election, and eyes will be on whether or not Mayor Byron W. Brown seeks a record fifth term.
And plenty of uncertainty, too. Will schools get back to normal? Will nursing home residents get peace? Will vaccines free people to get back to business?
